Essential Question


What great things come from Africa?

Program Description

Students will witness the life of a traditional African village through drumming and traditional dress. We alternate between interactive rhythms with drum segments as well as storytelling that educate and inspire. As part of this interactive performance, we will use community peer praise as a traditional element in African performance. The program is a great way to learn about the rich history of the African people.

Classroom Activity

What is Africa, a continent or country? Do you know the names of African instruments? Do you know the names of any African Kigs or Queens? Do you know any African langauges? Discuss some art forms that are distinctive to the continent.

Vocabulary

Djembe, Dunndunn, Baba, Ago, Jambo

Notes

Inclusion accommodations available in all sessions, notification of type of accommodations needed is requested on ticket information. It is a teacher/school administrator's responsibility to preview works of art, venues, and program to determine if content is appropriate for all members of your group.
